Has someone the right answer? http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=67943

I am looking for king pins for my Avante 2011. Not the stock ones. What will fit. I thought to use titaniums or colored alloy ones. Who knows what to use?

Here it is: Tamiya Transpeed 8.5t motor, Hobbywing Xerun 2.1 60A sensored esc, BlueBird digital buggy servo, 35C 7.4V 5200mah lipo

I also want to see an Egress or Porsche 959 soon.

What's next? a catwalk with paparazzi for rc cars?

I never use grease on the driveshafts. It attracts dirt.

I love my Avante 2011. I just purchased a new 35c lipo. The geartrain is holding up great with the Transpeed 8.5T.

I was browsing on Youtube and came along this Keen Hawk look a like in Mini Z size: I wish Tamiya came with a competitor against the reigning Mini-z. Would love to see a Mini-Z size Egress, Avante or Hotshot.

Guys, I have a Speedpassion combo for 1/8 truggies and bugies on sale on Ebay for Europeans only. Used it for 3 charges only. I am switching back to nitro in my 1/8 buggy. Fan for motor is included. Search on Speedpassion arrow 1/8. Good luck and happy bidding Give it a good home!

Guys, I am looking for a Marui CJ7 new tyres with road profile like the Hpi mini trophy truck. What will fit?

Has somebody already installed the new torque splitter/ ball differential set?

Avante rerelease is good choice for a high performance runner

It is better to catch a python than wakin up with a taipan at the end of your bed!

I owned the Paiero in it's original form but I would rather see the rerelease with the original smaller 3piece wheels and tyres.

Gear diffs are stronger than ball diffs that is why there is no brushless 1/8 buggy with ball diff and that is why we in 1/10 touringcar switch back to gear diff. I drive a 8.5t Transpeed brushless motor in my Avante: my gear diffs holds fine except I had to replace the 3rd ball diff cause it was melted. I also replaced the steel balls with ceramics and glued the metal diffrings to the plastic and metal parts. It is now holding fine!

You can always build an Egress with parts of the new Avante 2011. Geardiffs seems to be stronger than balldiffs if you are building a runner. Chassisparts in carbon can be made yourself using an Avante 2001 chassis. Arms can be used from the new Vajra truck.

I'm jealous! I am thinking of buying one.

My Avante 2011: 63km/u Setup: 8.5T transpeed brushless sensored motor with Hobbywing Xerun 60A esc 25c 4000mah 2s 7.4V lipo 19t pinion (made by Kawada)

Maybe 58500 is a statue of Mr Tamiya :D

I can read too but why do want to use ball diffs today? We have seen new cars in the cometition fiel with gear diffs like the team durango 410r and even high end onroad cars like the 3Racing Sakura Zero switched to gear diff because of the power of todays brushless motors. Another benefit you can increase or decrease diff-working by adding thick or medium or thin oil/grease into the diffs like we do in 1/8th scale buggies.

Read my post here. I removed the Egress spurgear I installed earlier.

Cool prize!

My first set of gears was melted due to the power of my brushless motor. I replaced the gears with a new set and also the steel balls were replaced with ceramic balls. I rebuilded the diff. Put some loctite (blue which can be removed) on the 2mm hex screw and tightend it all down, then turn the screw 1/4 clockwise and let it set. I have no more melting or slipping issues now.

Most countries have copyright laws but this for 95% done only on clothing. Not on r/c cars and not even on Ipods etc. You can order easily a clone through the internet without any problems by customs. I had a mini inferno clone by Iwaver within 14days from ordering to delivery. Great cars because you have clones and clones. Sometime you have a bad clone but mostly they are an exact copy of the original build with high quality materials. Take a look at this one: http://www.r2hobbies.com/eng/proddetail.php?prod=rcve00051 Great materials such as carbon, alloy and high tensile steel BUT still a clone of the Tamiya TRF 415. Way cheaper than the original.

So who's THE BOSS in that house? HE or SHE In other owrds she has NO respect for her husbands hobby. In fact the hobby were there BEFORE her!
